I’ve been shopping here for nearly two years on account of it being nearby. I’ve dealt with some unfriendly employees. But, I kept on shopping here because I like to support the more local businesses.
However; during my most recent visit, an employee was chatting with another employee when I came to the register. Once she noticed me, she frowned and her voice dropped to a low mumble as she stared at her register and said “Chow Hound rewards number...” I know better than to expect the impossible so I wasn’t needing a -“Hello” or even a -“Did you find everything you needed?” But this was ridiculous. If I hadn’t been in here so many other times I wouldn’t even have known what she was asking me for. The clincher was that she had sounded totally fine talking to the other employee, leaving me to deduce that it was my presence that caused her to become so aggravated. She maintained her annoyed state even after I pointed out that it was rude. It seems it was a massive inconvenience for me to need her to ring up my items and take my money.
All in all, this store could really benefit from a self checkout, that way I could still shop here and not have to bother the employees.
